I think focusing this on car salesman and the practices of the auto industry is in a sense denying the existence of questionable sales / business tactics used in all industries. Examples abound on the unscrupulous. Where does one begin? Can you say Ponzi?

ND walked away from a handshake deal due to him finding a better deal. He did give them the right to match. In my twisted mind this is important .

Remember the Eric Lindros trade from Quebec to Philadelphia in 1992? It ended up in court. NY Rangers felt they had an agreement with Quebec. The court ruled that even though there was a "handshake agreement" the momentum of negotiations was still in play and the agreement w/ NY was nothing more than a understanding as the deal was not legally consummated according to League rules. Ironically, I believe both NY (94) and Quebec (96 as Colorado w/ Forsberg obtained in the Phila trade)won Stanley Cups while Phila still waits...... Karma.
